Mamata Banerjee and PM Narendra Modi held simultaneous election rallies in West Bengal right this moment
Kolkata:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took swipes at one another at simultaneous election rallies in Bengal right this moment. PM Modi added a twist to his “khela hobe (recreation on)” dig at his rival Trinamool Congress chief – he mentioned it is “khela sesh (recreation over) if gamers preserve criticising umpires”, alluding to the Trinamool’s repeated criticism of the Election Fee.
Ms Banerjee, campaigning at North 24 Parganas district, simply 58 km from Tarkeshwar, the place PM Modi was giving an election speech, attacked the BJP utilizing the Trinamool’s essential weapon – that of calling the BJP a celebration of “outsiders” in Bengal.
“BJP needs to divide Bengal… These individuals need to finish Bengal, its language, its tradition,” Ms Banerjee, on a wheelchair nursing her plastered leg, mentioned. “I request to all of the minority brothers and sisters to not enable their vote division,” she mentioned.
The third of the eight-phase election in Bengal will probably be held on April 6.
